Great to have another firsttimer joining us! You can ask Marisa to add you to the Pinterest board, she will send you the invitation and once you accept it, you can pin to the board. Can't wait to see your (and everyone else's) inspiration!

I've never joined in a blog train before, but I'd like to give it a go. I do have a question; I normally work in 200 ppi for my 12x12s, not 300, is that ok? And is it ok to use seamless tiles/patterns as well as papers? Or do you prefer the full size papers?

Hi Cindy, it is great that you want to participate, the more the merrier! To answer your question, the industry standard for papers is 12"x12" and 300 dpi. The papers should be full size for those who do not have the software to use the patterns.
